I want to retire to the city of Duluth, MN, one day. I want to live on Lake Superior.

I have a soft spot for hair metal. Still, after all these years.

But it's not the only thing I like. My musical tastes would surprise you. Both the width, the depth, and the shittiness.

I am a very lucky husband. I am also a very happy pet owner (two French bulldogs, two cats).

I have wild mood swings between being really jealous over best-selling authors because I want to do that, too, and just being very happy with my sort of writing, the outstanding support I get from my indie publishers, and the fans who give me a reason to write.

Right now, the pendulum is swinging towards the "happy" side, so in a few years I'm sure I'll be foaming at the mouth trying to come up with a new best-selling thriller series.

I like TV a lot. I get really bored with most movies. It takes a lot of movie to keep me interested. But not loud explode-y ones nor slow as a constipated shit ones. Ugh.

In early March, I had a heart attack. I'm a bit young for that. But I'm really okay now. Thumbs up.

I will now take questions. But I have the right to not answer and just leave your answer hanging in the air, unanswered forever, in the comments.
